An ACH representative said the majority of injuries have occurred to the foot.

ACH said a sign of a venomous snake bite is if there is immediate pain and swelling. If bitten by a snake, it is best to call 911 or poison control.

According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC), 36 species of snakes, including six venomous species, are native to the state. The copperhead, cottonmouth, western diamondback rattlesnake, timber rattlesnake, western pigmy rattlesnake and Texas coral snake are all venomous, but the Texas coral snake is not normally found in the Arkansas River Valley.
